Txpro TX-680-AV Portable Radio VHF 136-174 MHz Digital DMR Analog 5w Preconfigured Complete Set

The Txpro TX-680-AV is a VHF portable radio engineered for professionals who want to migrate from analog to digital communications at a controlled, deliberate pace. Operating across the 136–174 MHz VHF band, it supports both Digital Mobile Radio (DMR) and analog FM protocols in a single device, allowing organizations to run mixed fleets without immediately replacing existing infrastructure. Its DMR Tier II compliance and dual-slot direct mode capability mean two independent voice calls can share the same frequency without relying on a repeater, maximizing spectrum efficiency in the field. The radio ships as a complete, ready-to-deploy set including battery, desktop charger, antenna, and belt clip, reducing procurement complexity for IT and communications managers.

Key features & benefits

• Dual-Mode DMR and Analog FM — Operates in both digital DMR and analog FM protocols on the same unit, giving administrators the flexibility to transition teams to digital gradually while maintaining backward compatibility with existing analog radios.
• DMR Tier II Dual-Slot Direct Mode — Supports two simultaneous calls on the same frequency without a repeater in direct mode, and full Tier II repeater operation, doubling effective channel capacity and extending coverage range when infrastructure is available.
• 136–174 MHz VHF Operation — Covers the full commercial and public-safety VHF band segment from 136 to 174 MHz, well-suited for environments where VHF propagation characteristics—such as open terrain, warehouses, or campus settings—provide reliable coverage.
• 5 W Transmit Power — Delivers 5 watts of RF output, providing the output level required for demanding field deployments and supporting extended range when used with a repeater system.
• Advanced Selective Calling and Security — Includes individual, group, and all-group selective calls, along with Stun/Revive capability, built-in encryption, and Read/Write password protection to secure communications and manage radio assets remotely.
• Remote Monitor and VOX — Remote Monitor allows a supervisor to silently listen to a radio's environment, while the VOX function enables hands-free operation—both critical features for safety-sensitive and high-dexterity work environments.
• 2 Programmable Keys — Two user-assignable programmable keys allow organizations to map frequently used functions directly to the radio body, reducing menu navigation time and improving operational efficiency.
• Complete Out-of-Box Kit — Each unit ships with a 2200 mAh battery, slow desktop charger (6–8 hour charge cycle), antenna, and belt clip—everything needed to put the radio into service without additional accessory orders.
